WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 81921. SCHOOL PROBLEMS By Supt. Washburne 0), Is there any truth in the Her- ald-Examiner article about mothers the schools? A. Very little. The "flood of let- "ters" were purely imaginary on the part of the reporter. No letter of protest has ever been received. One or two mothers some time ago asked questions why dish-washing was in- cluded in our domestic science course. | These questions were answered in the Winnetka Weekly Talk and formed the basis of the reporter's story. Q. Do the children get enough practice in reading out loud and ex- pression reading under the present system? A. They get just as much as under the old system and the ones who need it get more. The only difference is that instead of the child reading out loud to the entire class, he reads out loud usually to his teacher, while the rest of the class are reading si- lently. This enables the teacher to give much more special help to the child who needs it, and prev ents the child from holding the rest of the class back. There is reading to the class as a whole in connection with children's oral reports, but such read- 'ing is almost never out of a book which all the rest of the children have read, or have open before them. It is a genuine effort on the part of = the child who is reading to interest the rest of the class in a book which most of them have not read. The whole system of having a pupil read from a reader while the rest of the class follow i is inexcusably wasteful of everyone's time. It ne- cessitates all children reading a book of the same difficulty, whereas in any ~ grade it will be found that children's ability to read varies considerably. "Tt results in either slighting the child who reads so badly as to require a great deal of attention from the © teacher, or in inflicting much bad reading upon all the rest of the class. Our system of having children read aloud to the teacher, one, at a time, avoids these difficulties and enables us to give each child a book that fits his own needs and abilities. It allows each child to progress in his reading as rapidly as he is able. It enables the teacher to give extra time to the poor reader. And it requires no protesting against dish-washing in time. T.
